Hamsa symbolism

The Hamsa symbol is said to predate monotheistic faiths though it has been used as a protective Talisman in both Judaism and Islam. In Hebrew the word hamesh means five referring to the 5 fingers and the 5 books of the Torah. In Islam the Hamsa is also called the Hand of Fatima in honour of one of the daughters of the Prophet Mohammed and refers to the 5 pillars of Islam.

It's origins are probably entirely non-religious. Whatever your persuasion, the Hamsa is believed to be a powerful amulet that can be used to ward off any negative energy heading your way!

A much needed dainty amulet in these crazy times.
